Leaving Baltimore: Finding a home; Searching for a new beginning
One year ago this week, Patricia Lewis, 44, left her siblings and her Northwest Baltimore neighborhood for the Eastern Shore. With her, she collected up the few worldly belongings she owned and most importantly, her 8-year-old son, Karih.
Karih suffers from a form of autism known as Asperger’s Syndrome. The condition leaves the child with challenges learning how to play and interact with other children. He was initially placed in a special needs class, but this year, after testing confirming his suitability, he was placed in a regular class at Sandy Hill Elementary.
